[BRLTTY] Rocker Switches

[wmichaelb at fuse.net]

I'm still having difficulty trying to swap the functions of the rocker switches 
on a PowerBraille 80. I've installed Debian Linux 9.4, and I used the Debian 
apt tool to install brltty from the debian repository; 
running the brltty command yields a version of 5.4. 
1.) I opened 
/etc/brltty/Input/ts/pb80.ktb 
with nano, and found five lines: 
title Power Braille 80 
assign routingRight1 81 
assign routingRight2 82 
assign routingRight3 79 
include pb_large.kti 
Neither I nor my friend understands what these entries refer to, 
and none mentions a rocker switch. What parameters should I 
change to reverse the rocker bar settings? Since I'm seven hours from 
his home in Chicago at the moment and could not connect a PB80 
to test or access the preferences file to see if that preference was there, 
2.) I tried looking in /var/lib/brltty, but did not find brltty.prefs at all. 
Typing PREFMENU without the PowerBraille connected yields an 
error message: "No such command" 
3.) Also, to insure that the PB80 display starts at boot, I added the lines 
braille-driver ts 
braille-device serial:ttyS0 
to /etc/brltty.conf. Then, per another entry in the documentation, I 
edited /etc/default/brltty as follows: 
ARGUMENTS="-q -b ts -d /dev/ttyS0" 
Am I correct in assuming that these changes will automatically 
start brltty at boot? 
Thanks again for all your support.
